I really like the style over at Three Paper Peonies. A few days ago, I grabbed the ADORE paper collection and had to get to work on a layout right away. The challenge attached to these papers is to do a layout featuring a loved one. These are pics of Gavin in the bath on 11/10/2009. Who wouldn't fall in love with that face? :)

My Photoshop is acting wonky right now, but if I can get it working long enough, I'm going to turn this layout into a template.

Trying to blog through my phone sucked, and then I was wavering on going back and making up posts. And then, well, I just ignored it until it went away. I'll try again when I'm not going to be away from my computer for several (exhausting) days.

We're traveling this weekend, and our flight leaves at 6:10am tomorrow. Which means that we have to leave the house, at the latest, at 5am. It's 8:15pm now, and we've just started to pack. And there is still laundry being done. And Gavin isn't in bed, yet.

So, once you have a kid, the things you get excited over change direction a bit. Things you would have thought totally lame before are suddenly fun. For example:

Matching family pajamas.

I bought these last year from Gymboree for an outrageous amount of money. I thought that we would never wear them again, but I was just looking at the Gymbo website and they have the same style again this year! Last year, Gavin had the two piece set, but I think we need the footies this time.

My sister is going to be with us for Christmas this year. So, do I buy her a pair, too? :)

It's hard to get a picture of us together looking at the camera, so it was a surprise that I got this one!

My husband, Levi, is traveling for work, so his normal bath-time duties fell to me tonight. While it isn't a terribly difficult mom-duty, it's not one that I really (usually) enjoy. Honestly, I skip it a night or two when Levi's out of town and Gavin hasn't done anything too messy.

When Levi's home, this is my quiet time to read a bit, watch a few minutes of non-baby friendly tv, and just veg out. Gavin's been having an off and on fear of the shower, too, so you never know if it's going to be a total tear fest, or if he's going to want to stay in until he's a prune.

Tonight was a good night, though. We checked out, lined up, and tossed around all of his rubber ducks. And there was a whole lot of coloring on the tub and shower walls. :)
